pected completion data for work
presidential nomination. Texas
stuck with him in the face of
the Stevenson sweep, joining in
only at the last moment in the
convention’s "Make it unani-
mous” voice vote.
Connally also was referring
to the final futile vote the Tex-
ans cast for Sen. John Kennedy
of Massachusetts for vice presi-
dent.
The Texans had lined up with
the "stop Kefauver” movement
that collapsed in a rising tide
of votes, first by balloting once
for Sen. Albert Gore of Tennes-
see in a delaying action.
Then they caucused. Obvious-
ly under the advice of top lead-
ership, the Texans decided to
switch to Kennedy and stay
with him. This they did, again
joining in the usually-perfunc-
lief is that Nixon will easily
win renomination.
Stevenson himself paid some
attention to this situation in a
rousingly received acceptance
speech. He said Kefauver’s vic-
tory in convention balloting had
"dignified” the office of the vice
presidency.
"I do not propose to make po-
litical capital out of the presi-
dent’s illness,” Stevenson told
the delegates. “His ability to
fulfill the demands of his exact-
ing office is a matter between
him and the American peo-
ple . . .”
“But if the conditian of Pres-
ident Eisenhower is not an is-
sue as far as I am concerned,
the condition and conduct of
the president’s office and of the
administration is very much an
issue.”
Stevenson attacked what he
said was the Republican idea
that “you can merchandise can-
didates for office like breakfast
cereal.” He said the GOP was
trying to put over the idea that
“even the presidency of the
United States has somehow be-
come an easy job.”

days before in which Truman
backed Gov. Averell Harriman
of New York for the nomination
and tossed brickbats at Steven-
son.
As the star of the televised
presentation, Stevenson laid
down the pattern of an aggres-
sive campaign to sell a "new
America.’
It will be a land, he said,
“where poverty is abolished . ..
where freedom is made real for
all without regard to race or
belief or economic condition”
and a new order “which ever-
lastingly attacks the ancient
idea that men can solve their
differences by killing each oth-
er.”
For the-political problems of
the day, Stevenson had some ob-
servations after 19 minutes of
uproarious greeting by a con-
vention that hadn’t done much
all-out cheering previously.
Stevenson told Truman, M I
am glad to have you on my side
again, sir.”
Truman had touched off
waves of laughter by saying
earlier that “some stupid fellow
I won’t name” had been predict-
ing Stevenson couldn’t beat Ei-
senhower.
Characterizing Stevenson as
a “real fighter” although earlier
in the week he had been saying
the reverse, Truman told the
delegates not to worry about
his forecast of Stevenson’s de-
feat.
"Don’t let that worry you,”
he said. “That’s what people
were saying about me in 1948.”

Ralph Yarborough chided
Sen. Price Daniel again Friday
night about Daniel’s refusal to
debate issues in their campaign
for governor.
Daniel told a crowd of about
1200 at Paris that outside
forces were seeking to control
Texas government. Daniel said
he wanted a victory “not for
myself but for Texas.”
Yarborough asserted via tele-
vision and again at a rally at
Arlington that Daniel is “un-
willing to risk a verdict of in-
formed Texans, reached after
full discussion.”
Daniel said he would leave
the senate to seek the demo-
cratic nomination for governor
because I love Texas so much
that I’d rather be governor than
president of the United States.”
"Texas will control its own
affairs and doesn’t need the help
of those like Walter Reuther
and the NAACP to do it,” Dan-
iel said of his charges about out-
side forces.
, He said of desegregation that
he was for each locality to say
“what will go to which school.”
At Wichita Falls he said he
would “support the Democratic
nominee unless by his action the
nominee would force me to do
otherwise, as in the tidelands
fight”
Yarborough charged that
Danil as attorney general, had
approved charters of 31 in-
surance firms which have since
gone bankrupt and that Daniel
had approved block land deals.

NEW YORK (P) — Authori-

for the underworld mastermind
of the acid attack that blinded
the labor columnist.
FBI agents cracked most of
the once baffling case yesterday
when they seized two ex-con-
victs. Four other arrests fol-
lowed.
But the shadowy figure who
put up the money to finance the
attack apparently was still at
large.
The FBI said the wanton as-
sault against Riesel sought to
prevent the crusading newspa-
perman from telling a federal
grand jury about labor rack-
eteering.

WE WERE INTERESTED in
the observations of RONNIE
RUGGER, editor of The Texas
Observer, a radically liberal
weekly published in Austin.
When Dugger wrote his lead
editorial this week, he apparent-
ly was down in the dumps over
the way Texas politicians were
acting as regards the runoff
race.
Dugger had this to say:
“In the heat of a guberna-
torial runoff it is easy to neglect
the conspicuous silences.
“For example, SENATOR
LYNDON JOHNSON says he
expects strict party loyalty from
people seeking party honors, yet
he raises not a chirp against
PRICE DANIEL’S refusal to
pledge to support the national
Democratic nominees. He even
permits the impression to grow
that he is not in favor of the
devoted Democrat in the runoff.
"JOHN WHITE, the agricul-
ture commissioner, is always
outspoken for the loyalists—in
his own races. Where is he hid-
ing out during this runoff?
“JOHN BEN SHEPPERD, the
attorney general, always has a
lot to say about almost any-
thing. Why doesn’t he grace the
people with his thought on the
runoff?
“JAMES HART is not in pub-
lic life, but a lot of people would
like to know how the man who
almost ran for governor feels
about the convenient showdown.
“Politics is a strange business,
politicians a funny breed. About
all you ever find out about their
election preferences is that they
favor themselves.”
Some of these men, Dugger
has been supporting strongly,
but he is disgusted with their
stand, or lack of it, on the run-
off race.

The swap to Kennedy came

CHICAGO (P)— Many Texas
Democratic delegates expressed
fear today that they would have
a hard time selling the Steven-
son-Kefauver ticket to their
often-rebellious citizens.
In the interest of party unity
and the semblance of a solid
front, most kept their unhappy
comments off the record, but
there was considerable mutter-
ing about the back-home pros-
pects of victory in November.
Sen. Lyndon Johnson, delega-
tion chairman, said after the
convention was over:
"I think we have ■ fighting
ticket and will win in Novem-
ber.”
But vice chairman John Con-
nally of Fort Worth said he
thought Texas had backed the
best candidates.
“I am proud of the position
we took,” said Connally.
